Poor Traveling Advice
1. Switzerland's public places are very quiet, try whispered conversation, avoid loud noises.
2. In Switzerland, the tap tap water generally can be directly consumed (except train), part of the fountain (Except landscape fountain) can drink well. The quality of mountain lake water is very good, have reached drinkable standards. Note, however, the hot water in the tap may be cooking in circulation throughout the building, do not recommended drinkable.
3. The free public toilets is seldom in Switzerland, most of should be charged, used once about 0.5 to 1 Swiss Franc. McDonald's and other fast-food restaurants need to ask for a password from the service to use the toilet. Generally on the train, some railway stations, department stores, Starbucks have free toilet.
4. Swiss are polite, in shopping malls, restaurants, trains, etc. need to say hello to the service staff, after receiving service needs say thanks. When hiking in the mountains encounter other hikers, simplely Say "Grüezi", "Guten Tag", "Hallo" to show a friendly bar.
5. Alpine weather may change every hour, while hiking in the mountains need to pay close weather Forecast attention.
6. A pair of shoes fit you, traveling have long way to go, so you need choose the right shoes, I would rather choose nike free 5.0 flyknit.The Nike Free 5.0 Flyknit was one of the most successful Nike shoes in their ongoing fleet, Nike designers to build an unconventional and flexible running shoe from the inside out.
